FAQ Tag: care plan

I saw a patient who I think needs a care (Familiar Faces) plan. How do I flag it?

Print off a sticker and give to the head nurse (or charge nurse if over night to pass on to the head nurse). They will pass on to the group who looks at indications and makes the plans.

We’re Hiring!
